Trump could not stand outside to take the oath of office yet he wants to end home heating assistance in the middle of winter, putting more than 7 million households of poor and elderly at risk of freezing. This isn’t leadership, it’s cruel and criminal.
Trump has yet again broken both the law and his promise to help American families by issuing a sweeping halt to federal funding, grants and loans. His actions immediately and significantly put Americans in danger.

Thanks to @MikeBloomberg, @BloombergDotOrg will once again work to ensure the U.S. meets its climate commitments despite federal inaction. @AmericaIsAllIn will continue to lead the way in reducing emissions.

Donald Trump promised to fight for working Americans. Now he’s trying to pull back funding that’s created jobs, rebuilt infrastructure, and powered our future. Turning back on progress isn’t leadership—it’s an attack on working families.

Congestion pricing isn’t just about less traffic—it’s about protecting the health of working families. By cutting pollution, we’re reducing the risk of asthma, heart, and lung diseases that affect families while investing in the transit they rely on.

If Trump and Zeldin make good on promises to prioritize donors from the fossil fuel industry over the rest of us, we will pay the price with our health, our livelihoods and our future.
